High quality Royal Worcester Hadley Vase made 1891. Mint condition. Measures approx. 11 inches tall. No Reserve!! Royal Worcester Hadley Vase - 1899, England: The letter H on the underside of this vase indicates that this is a Hadley design. James Hadley was the principal modeler of Royal Worcester and considered to be the finest ceramic modeler of the 19th century. His softly painted roses later became known as Hadley Roses by Royal Worcester collectors. In 1875 he set up his own modeling studio and Royal Worcester continued to absorb most of his output. In 1905, after Hadley's death, Royal Worcester purchased his factory including the transfer of all its molds, designs and workforce. Production of Hadley's designs continued, with a letter H added to the shape design number. Such is the mark on this vase: an "H" preceding the shape number 212. The hand-written number below the line, 1054, is the color coding. The year of manufacture is determined by the number of dots surrounding the words "Royal Worcester England." Royal Worcester pieces were dated in this way after 1891 and each dot represented an additional year. This vase has 8 dots so it must have been made in 1899 (1891 + 8 = 1899). !On further inspection, I see that there are 20 dots so that would make this vase from 1911. My apologies for the miscalculation on the date.
